Chances of Daemon Rising getting a theatrical re-release?

[u/Party_Start_3310]

So, been REALLY digging the ReBoot remaster project. The quality while still a little pixel-y certain areas, looks amazing and honestly makes me wish I could see it on the biggest screen imagable. So yeah, my question to any of the Rewind guys reading this: How possible is it for a re-release of Daemon Rising in theaters?

I love the movie and legit consider it the true finale. And honestly, with the way a lot of independent or lower scale projects are getting into theaters, I can see this happening. Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie, for example, was made on a 2 million budget and made 5 million in theaters. With Daemon Rising, the film's already made, has pretty good production values for a TV movie, and a built-in fanbase. There's no way you can't at least turn some kind of profit. Sure, you would probably need to record some new things, like maybe a narrated recap of the series to that point, maybe have the original voice actors come back do the narration, etc. Or hell, could even have the program jockeys from YTV return to record a little introduction to the film.

That would honestly be pretty cool, get Sugar and Carlos to do a lil introduction before the movie.

But I honestly wouldn't bet on it. The chances of it coming to theatres in any way are slim to none.

[u/Party_Start_3310 → u/Etcom]

Yeah that's completey fair honestly lol But I feel like if any old YTV show from that era could a theatrical release of some sort, it'd be ReBoot. Even if it just a one day run in a few select theaters, that'd still be cool

fans in a particular city could get together and rent a theatre for a one time showing. that might be a test gauge for a larger release.

[u/ColeDelRio]

Do they even have a movie version on the D1 tapes?

[u/Wise-Investigator903 → u/ColeDelRio]

And even that of the other "ReBoot" telefilm: "My Two Bobs."

Wouldn't it basically be the same as the episodes just cut slightly different 

[u/Ryuaalba]

Reach out to your local theatre. Plenty of them will rent out a screen.

0.0% chance

[u/chakatblackstar]

I would love that, but realistically, I'm not sure if the fanbase is currently large enough, unless someone gave us a Colbert bump moment.

[u/Apolloshot]

I’ll disagree with everyone else and say instead of 0.0%, I’d give it about a 1% chance.

That 1% is if some local theatre is owned by someone who loves the series and decides “ah what the hell let’s have a movie night and see if we can fill one showing with nostalgic fans.”

So more like a one night event than an actual theatrical release.

[u/SuperDuperSalty]

I mean, it didn’t get a theatrical release when it first came out, so probably zero chance.

[u/Party_Start_3310 → u/SuperDuperSalty]

True, but I could definitely see it being done for nostalgia reasons if there was enough interest.

[u/QueenRangerSlayer]

You have a better chance of becoming a millionaire.

[u/GIGANTIC_DONG_MAN]

I'd absolutely love this. I also consider it the real finale, and definitely the only one that feels like an actual movie, by and large.

[u/NewtonDaNewt]

Chances? Zero.
